Guild

From Last Exile

The Guild is a small floating city in the clouds. Its inhabitants control the technical knowledge on Prester, doling it out to the other nations as they see fit.

In the war between Anatoray and Disith the Guild acts as a sort of referee, ostensibly making sure both sides conform to agreed rules of engagement. However, their actions towards enforcing those rules seem to betray more of a concern for their own agenda than any anxiety for the countries involved in.

The Guild originally consisted of four houses. In addition to house Eraclea (the house Dio and his sister Delphine are from) there were also the houses of Hamilton (Al's house), Dagobert (The Silvana's Boilerman's house), and Bassianus. The four Mysteria were originally granted to these respective houses, as Dio tells Alex Row after he is taken prison aboard the Silvana.
